It would also mean that guests who are most likely from NYC, Houston, or LA, would be sitting around for a full week between cons. They would be losing work and most likely need to be compensated for that.

Even if it was the same guest at two cons a week apart, it would be a lot cheaper to fly the person in twice.

...and if someone could see someone at one con, why would they go to another con a week earlier/later to see the same guest? Some people are huge fans and would do that, sure...but I'm not convinced that most people would bother. I don't see it as an attendance draw to have the same guest appearing twice in two weeks at two cons within a few hours drive.

I agree, it isn't going to help either convention out to share a guest. Especially the convention that happens last.... everyone will go see them at the first convention and the second convention could end up being a ghost town... I'd rather have someone different so that people either have to find a way to go to both or they have to make a choice and hopefully both conventions can get what they need for a crowd to meet expenses.

That's a shame. I'm sorry about that! But I think I speak for all Baku fans when I say thank you for trying anyways!

Another suggestion:

This one, I personally would recommend strongly due to his career in voice acting in general and the studying the stage acting and Shakespeare training that many voice actors start off with. Simon Templeman is most well known for his role as the the Vampiric Lord, Kain, from the game series Legacy of Kain. He's also recently done Loghain from Dragon Age Origins, Gabriel Roman from Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and will be playing a role in Mass Effect 2 as Han Gerrel.

He's also done a lot of guest starring roles in Angel, 24, and Charmed. Now I have no idea how much it would cost to get him or if he is even interested, but I thought he would bring a very unique perspective to Baku attendees about the world of voice acting with his array of work in television, voice acting, and I believe some stage acting.

I think it would be really neat to have a musical guest who could perform at the con. I mean, we have the dance every year so we know that noise isn't the msot pressing issue. Just throwing the idea out there ^_^ Not even jsut Utada-sama, but any musical guest would be really cool ^_^

If I said that I never feared the Darkness, but indeed welcomed it, would you still love me...
